NWACC Utilizes Workday to Streamline the Student Experience
To elevate student success, NWACC is moving most of the college's student-related systems to Workday - a simple, cloud-based mobile-friendly information system. This initiative is referred to as the Workday Student project where many of the tasks that students, faculty and staff perform on a regular basis will be available at any time, from anywhere, and in one place – Workday.
Students, faculty and staff can view the information below to understand what can be accomplished in Workday Student and how it’ll be different than NWACC’s previous systems.
SNEAK PEEK: Take a sneak peek of the student experience in Workday by viewing our demonstration video.
